[PATCH] misc: nsm: fix CBOR short-length decoding
Posted by Ruoyu Wang an hour ago
CBOR encodes byte-string lengths from 0 through 23 directly in the
additional-information field. cbor_object_get_array() only handles 23,
so shorter byte strings leave array_len uninitialized. Reserved values
28 through 30 and the unsupported indefinite-length encoding also fall
through without assigning it.

parse_resp_get_random() then uses the indeterminate value for bounds
checking and as the byte count returned to the hwrng core. This can
reject a valid short response or report an incorrect amount of entropy.

Decode the complete inline-length range and reject unsupported values.
Extended definite-length encodings retain their existing behavior, and
the existing size and INT_MAX checks continue to bound the returned
slice.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
